Sri Mulyani

Sri Mulyani Indrawati (born 26 August 1962) is an Indonesian economist who served as minister of finance from 2016 to 2025 under President Joko Widodo and Prabowo Subianto. She also served in the role under President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono between 2005–2010.

In her first tenure, she was credited with strengthening Indonesia's economy, increasing investments, and steering Southeast Asia's largest economy through the 2008 financial crisis and the Great Recession. However, she was widely criticized for supporting a bailout of Bank Century in 2008, which cost the government Rp6.76 trillion ($737 million in 2008), resulting in the Indonesian House of Representatives holding a non-confidence vote on the bailout warrant. She resigned her post in 2010 and took a position at the World Bank as Managing Director, before returning as finance minister in 2016.

Sri Mulyani became the first person who worked as a Minister of Finance in Indonesia under three different successive presidents: Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, Joko Widodo, and finally Prabowo Subianto. She enjoyed high popularity following her reappointment in Widodo's administration, including being listed as The World's 100 Most Powerful Women by ''Forbes'' for several times, but she later garnered criticism for her budgeting and tax policy. During August-September 2025 protests, Sri Mulyani's home in South Tangerang became the target of looting by the mobs. On 8 September 2025, she was replaced as finance minister by Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa. Provided by Wikipedia
